The theme for my surreal photo montage project will be illusion. I plan on tricking the viewer into believing a seemingly impossible occurence is happening. To get an idea of what I will attempt, take an example of a bunch of balloons filled with air tied to a man's feet. You take a photo of him laying down with the balloons tied to his feet, delete the background and change it to the picture of the sky, and it looks like the man is being flown by balloons. I plan to take a much more complex take on the illusion element, and tell a story with my illusion.
I have decided to photograph a friend taking a 'step' onto another ground. The other ground will simply be a wall, and the subject will lean back parallel to the ground on a chair, so that it looks like he is walking up a wall. He will also be holding a balloon, which another person will pull horizontally so that it is also parallel to the ground. I will take two photos on a tripod, one without people and the other with, so that I can cut out the chair and the person holding the balloon. Then I plan on rotating the image so that the wall looks like the ground. I am not completely sure what other surreal elements from other sources I will use, but I like my idea very much for a surreal photo.
Very excited about this! Can't wait to see it
